Relationships & Family Law
Relationships & Family Law is one of the busiest areas of law with all the legal implications of marriage breakdown, divorce, child maintenance and other financial & property issues on divorce.
We provide a wide range of up to date free legal information covering all the major concerns.
However, there is now a greater empahsis on mediation early in the process to avoid legal & financial disputes and to limit the acrimony and damage to any children involved.
CompactLaw provides practical and detailed information regarding the divorce process and the forms required. We also cover the various orders that can be made, such as maintenance orders and consent orders.
We also look at alternatives to divorce proceedings, such as judicial separation and nullity.
See also information for gay and lesbian couples and unmarried couples. The rights for unmarried couples are more complicated and less clear.
